On the eve of National Day in 2019, I was appointed by the company and led by me. Four people from our East China team went to several universities such as Shanghai (Fudan, Tongji, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai Institute of Technology, East China University of Technology) and Zhejiang (Zhejiang University, Zhejiang University of Technology). Campus recruitment presentations. In more than a week, we walked into various schools, gave recruitment lectures to graduates, promoted Sinopec, and introduced Tianjin Petrochemical, which attracted the attention of college graduates and successfully completed this task. Regarding this trip, I edited and published a beautiful article in 2019. This time, I would like to thank Jinmen. com for editing another article "West Lake Morning Bank" photographed on the shores of Xizi Lake.

It was precisely because we wanted to go to Zhejiang University and Zhejiang University of Technology to give lectures that we worked in Hangzhou for 2 days and stayed at the Lotus Hotel on the bank of Xizi Lake. It is very close to the West Lake and can be reached by foot in 7-8 minutes. This is my third time in Hangzhou, and the beauty of the West Lake has always attracted me. In order not to delay work, I could only use the morning to visit the West Lake, because I had to go to the school to give lectures during the day and at night. Only the time before breakfast belongs to you. On both mornings, I got up early, took the Leica camera with me, walked the north side of the West Lake and the Su Causeway on the west side of the West Lake on the first day, and turned the east and south sides of the West Lake on the second day. About 1 and a half hours each time, I walked around the West Lake and took photos while walking. After returning to the hotel, you can catch breakfast and start the day's work. The pictures taken after this work were all taken casually. Even if it was a short morning trip to the West Lake, I could still get my inner satisfaction and fulfill my wish to take pictures of the West Lake in the morning. I haven't organized it after shooting. I opened the folder during the weekend and selected some pictures to edit this group.

The morning light of the West Lake made me forget to leave. In the early morning, the West Lake was without the hustle and bustle of tourists, not even a trace of wind. The sun has not come out yet, and the morning exercisers have already arrived at the lake.

Dawn steps out of home

Morning arrives by the lake in front of the door

The three walked around the lake

A thin layer of morning fog rose from the lake and slowly covered the lake. Sit quietly by the lake and slowly appreciate the changes in the morning light, be intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, take a picture of yourself, and put the West Lake into the camera.

The shade is suitable, like a traditional Chinese painting of mountains and rivers. The building moves in the painting and the people are in the painting. The water flows in the words, bathes in the morning light, and the hidden bells are heard in your ears, making it ethereal and silent.

A ray of morning light shines on the sparkling blue lake, and the jingle of the pet's neck plays the prelude to the morning.

The morning light of the West Lake makes me linger. In the early morning, there is no hustle and bustle of tourists, not even a trace of wind. A ray of morning light shines on the sparkling blue waves of the lake. A thin morning mist rises from the lake and slowly Covering it on the lake, it puts a hazy veil on the beautiful West Lake. Look at its mystery and its elegance contains endless elegance. The mist on the lake is like gauze. The green trees, the small bridges, the cruise ships, and the flowers blooming on the bank of the lake all seem to be wandering in a fairyland, confusing and confusing, accompanying each other like shadows. Accompanied by the shadows of the trees on the shore, connected by the blue sky in the distance, the bells of Lingyin Temple echo, and everything can be seen in the eye. It is really beautiful and picturesque. I especially envy the Hangzhou people on the lake for coming here every day for morning exercise.

There is no noisy and harsh music for morning exercises in West Lake, nor is there any enthusiastic and exaggerated square dances or sonorous rhythmic aerobics. What I saw were West Lake people wearing silk training clothes for morning exercise. They chatted while exercising. They gathered every day and chatted every day. They were healthy and happy physically and mentally.

The morning fog covers the beautiful West Lake with a hazy veil. Look at her mystery and endless elegance. It is best to come in the morning to see the West Lake. There are few tourists and the scenery is beautiful, and the photos are concise.

The mist on the lake is like gauze. The green trees, the small bridges, the cruise ships, and the flowers blooming on the bank of the lake are like wandering in a fairyland. They are confusing and follow each other like shadows.

The lake has good air and many negative oxygen ions. Sitting on a chair by the lake, looking at the lake, listening to the chirping of birds, and watching the people exercising in the morning, I feel in a good mood all day.

When the environment is good, birds are happy to come to the West Lake to feed and play. The water quality of the West Lake is good and there are many snails and fish in the water, so the birds can naturally be retained. Silver gulls can often be seen on the bank of the West Lake. This beautiful waterbird with a pleasant sound adds a lot of fun to the beautiful scenery of the West Lake and adds fun to citizens and tourists

This is the third time I have come to the West Lake. At the end of September, the West Lake has no flowers, no snow, no spring light, and the autumn flavor is not very strong. These two mornings are full of morning fog on the lake. When the sun comes out, the mountains and water are all misty. It's really like Su Dongpo's poem,"The water is shining and clear, and the mountains are strange when the rain is clear." The measure of West Lake can accommodate both tranquility and dynamic beauty. The morning light of the West Lake is quiet and silent, and the day of the West Lake is full of laughter and songs.

I still like the early morning in the West Lake. On the wide and smooth ground by the lake, I watch a very ordinary grandma holding a large piece of paper, and Tai Chi dancing beside me accompanied me, and the strong cultural atmosphere is slowly permeated by the powerful and agile pen. They bring the first rhythm of the day to the tranquil West Lake. In my opinion, the West Lake belongs to Hangzhou people only in the morning, and it only appears quiet in the morning before tourists arrive.

Two seemingly ordinary grandmothers splashed ink on the bank of the West Lake. They held special pens in their hands and dipped them in water to write calligraphy on the ground. I saw that the lines of the earth calligraphy written by the two of them were thick and thin, and the movements were fast and slow, turning, stopping, and lifting. The strokes reflected the beauty of the lines. The process of writing can nourish the heart and cultivate the qi, which is conducive to your health. The combination of earth calligraphy and Tai Chi into one picture, and the strong cultural atmosphere slowly spreads through the spirit of Tao.

The lotus pond in the West Lake is peaceful, serene and charming in the early morning. The rippling lake water, green lotus leaves, and swaying willows form a faint ink painting that touches the hearts of the people. The lotus side fan dance blows away the fragrance of lotus leaves, and the silk kung fu shirt is filled with the leisure of Hangzhou people and typical Hangzhou customs. Inadvertently, my heart quieted down, and all the troubles disappeared instantly.

Morning exercises in the West Lake surround the West Lake, with the most concentrated on the east side of the lake. People are scattered in different areas on the shore, and the activities include Tai Chi, sword training, various dances, etc., everything is available. Relax the muscles and activate the activities, and the sun is healthy. Stay in the West Lake, a natural oxygen bar.

The lake is dancing, and the figures are suitable. It is quiet and harmonious in the hustle and bustle, and everyone is doing their favorite activities. Morning exercise gives people health, morning exercise gives people progress, and morning exercise gives people a sense of energy.

On the Tai Chi field, each move is received and received calmly, swallowed and spat, the qi is calm, and the silk clothes are fluttering, giving a very fairy aura. Morning exercise gives fresh air, and morning exercise gives sunshine life.

The master is teaching his apprentice sword skills, and the son is pushing the old man around the lake. It is a harmonious picture, a scene in reason. Everything is so natural, and there is the rhythm of life everywhere. This is the morning view of Hangzhou people by the West Lake.

In terms of water, the West Lake is not as good as Taihu Lake and Erhai Lake. In terms of mountains, the twin peaks of the West Lake are not as good as Yandang and Huangshan. Why is the West Lake's declaration so high and attracts countless tourists? It is just because the lakes and mountains complement each other and complement each other in various shapes. Here, nature and humanity are integrated. The natural beauty and theoretical beauty of West Lake are combined into the ultimate beauty. This lies in the beauty of West Lake.

The West Lake is so beautiful, so what is the experience for Hangzhou people living near the West Lake? I'm curious, too.

I searched the Internet and someone actually answered. I matched the feelings and experiences of these people into my pictures.

"I have lived by the West Lake for a long time, and I go to the West Lake whenever I have free time. I feel very good at the West Lake at 4 o'clock in the morning. There is no one here. I feel like the whole West Lake is like my own back garden. I have an exclusive, not-so-famous but very artistic stroll route to West Lake. I don't take the Broken Bridge, which is actually not that beautiful." Behind the screen is the Su Causeway, and behind the young man's running shadow is the broken bridge. I didn't bring a tripod when taking this picture. I placed the camera on a small stone pier on the roadside. Morning exercisers came over to take pictures slowly, and the background was Su Causeway and Broken Bridge.

One of them said,"I have lived by the West Lake for more than 20 years. My house has the window open, and you can see the West Lake when you lie in bed. After walking for 3 minutes, you can stand on the broken bridge. West Lake is like the backyard of home. When I was a child, after dinner, my parents would take me for a walk on the white embankment. But he added, I have been looking forward to demolition. Because it is a century-old house, the floor is already rotten. It creaks when walking, the wiring is old, and the microwave oven or something will trip when it is turned on. There is a lot of moisture on the lake, and it will soon grow hair if debris is not put into the airtight box. People are prone to eczema and dermatitis." This seems to be what the old grandfather said. The West Lake is beautiful, but the people by the lake also have worries about the beauty.

"Some people say that I have seen the four seasons of the West Lake, but I can proudly say that not only the four seasons, I have seen the West Lake for 24 hours. At 3 o'clock in the morning, standing by the West Lake is so quiet that it feels as if the entire lake is yours. When the weather was fine, the old couple sat on a bench by the West Lake and watched the West Lake quietly. My enjoyment is a state of detachment, and the tourists around me are a state of ignorance. Looking at the distant mountains and lakes, listening to music, and looking at the information on our mobile phones, we can sit for a long time. Sometimes we encounter little squirrels who are not afraid of people going down the trees to forage for food, which attracts tourists to watch, but we just smile and say nothing. You and other tourists have just come in a hurry. We are the regular visitors to the West Lake, and we will be grateful when we think of it here. We live by the West Lake." Did these two old people say this?

"Being with you is the best love," Wife, wife, old companion."If the weather is good, I will push my wife to the lake every morning, and I will be in a good mood for the day after going there." West Lake supports people.

Spring dawn on the Su Causeway, snow on the broken bridge, the evening bell in Nanping, the sunset on Lei Feng, and the autumn moon on the Pinghu Lake. These many scenic spots cannot catch up with the seasons and weather and cannot see the prosperity. But I saw the different cultural scenery of Hangzhou people by the West Lake in the early morning. I walked around the West Lake and paid attention to the lake, but my eyes still often visited the scenery in the lake. It also attracted me, but I didn't have time to take pictures. I found that the weeping willows on the bank of the West Lake are particularly different. They are jade trees in the wind, handsome and elegant. The wisps of wicker seem to be weak and low-hanging. They twist their slender waist, swaying and swinging, like a woman's beautiful long hair, giving her life of gentleness, romance and affection to Hangzhou Xizi. The scenery of the West Lake has attracted countless literati and literati, and the scenery of the West Lake has attracted countless photography enthusiasts. When I photographed the people by the lake, I also photographed the people who photographed the beautiful scenery. When I was in the beautiful scenery, the people who photographed the beautiful scenery. Like them, I put the West Lake into the camera and took it home just to be moved and loved at this time.

On the Suti Broken Bridge, a photography enthusiast, like me, came to take pictures of the West Lake in the early morning. The red sun had just come out, and he stood on the broken bridge to take pictures of the West Lake and Hangzhou City against the light. A person next to him was filming him, I photographed the two of them, he photographed the scene, and I photographed the person. They use professional SLRs, and I use a portable Leica compact camera.

I heard that this is a "zombie dance" with slow, soft and rhythmic movements. Taking such a picture is suitable for silhouette. I manually reduced the camera by 3 exposure levels to get the feeling of "zombie" in "heaven". I didn't find it scary but rather beautiful. In the background of West Lake, everything seems to be beautiful.

When he saw this picture, he raised his hand and photographed it without hesitation. The movements, composition, colors, and moments of leg pressing are all well grasped, and when you look carefully, they are all just right. The red main body is prominent, and the leg pressing expresses dynamic movement and long-term persistent exercise. The person sitting on the chair and the person in red seem to not know each other, but when they meet by the West Lake, the two people moving and still echo each other, balancing left and right. The tree in the middle is just set off by the hazy white background, and the whole picture seems very harmonious. In the series of pictures I showed in the previous parts, we can see that martial arts and calligraphy, sword practice and wheelchair push, etc., which seem to be different from the same content, are all photographed in the same picture, and the picture is harmonious and interesting.

The West Lake has a lot of water vapor, but the flowers and plants on the bank still need to be watered. The moment the water sprayed out, a layer of mist shrouded the trees and grass, adding vitality to the tranquility of the morning.

The upper semi-circle moves, the lower semi-circle is still, and the upper and lower semi-circles hold the rope skipping person. Only by grasping the moment of shooting well can you achieve the ideal picture you want. Jumping rope is the arc you draw for yourself and keep jumping in it. It is voluntary forced closure. It's like the circle the Tang Priest drew for Sun Wukong, bound. This formal isolation has a certain visual contrast compared with the huge West Lake. Coupled with the contrast between the person facing the West Lake in the lower right corner, one facing inward and the other facing outward, the picture has a certain meaning. In fact, all this was a subconscious reaction when filming the moment they passed by.

A ray of red morning light shone on the stone railing on the bank, and an aunt wearing blue silk practicing kung fu was doing leg pressing on the stone railing. In fact, I had already passed it. When I looked back, I felt that it met the requirements of the picture I wanted to take, so I pressed the shutter without hesitation. A small camera has the advantages of taking pictures as soon as you raise your hand without attracting attention. The stone railings erected on the shore and the iron chains that arc upwards have the feeling of lifting people, and they are moving in silence. The blue silk dress was particularly eye-catching against the white fog on the lake.

When couples come to travel, they are both photography enthusiasts and keep taking pictures in the face of beautiful scenery. One is dressed brightly, the other is dressed normally, but the camera is pointed in the same direction.

At the end of September, the lotus leaves by the lake were still green. I stopped to take a look at the lotus. Some of the leaves turned yellow again. Autumn was really here.

On the Su Causeway, I saw this woman walking with a red trolley case, stopping and stopping, constantly taking photos with her mobile phone. Did you just get off the plane, or are you looking for accommodation again? So eager to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.

From a small backpack, I can see that this girl may be a foreigner. It was her first time to come to Hangzhou. She bought a silk qipao and came to West Lake early. It can be seen that she was very excited and kept taking selfies from multiple angles and posting them to her circle of friends. Observe things by looking at the details, and grab a typical moment that can reflect the characteristics of things and get it done with one picture.

Wearing gorgeous clothes will also provide a beautiful scenery by the West Lake.

Is it a family or a team? I don't know, it was their laughter that attracted me. This group of people was particularly conspicuous in the early morning in the West Lake. During the shooting, I chose the position to place the person holding the clothes in the middle, which enriched the content of the picture.

The "West Lake Morning Bank" series is the inspiration I got instantly on the edge of the West Lake. I went to West Lake on two mornings out of three days in Hangzhou. I usually go to the West Lake at around five o'clock in the morning and take pictures until the sun comes out.

I photographed the uncles and aunts doing morning exercises by the West Lake, the first tourists to come to the West Lake, and also the joy of tourists when they first came to the West Lake...

In order to record the most real state of the people along the West Lake and not attract attention, I took a small portable camera. During the shooting process, I tried my best not to disturb passers-by or break the authentic atmosphere. I always secretly took these pictures myself. I like works that can express or show the true state of society.

Everyone has their own impression of the West Lake, but more people pay attention to the scenery in the West Lake, and few people focus on the things next to them. In my photos, the lakeside people who exercised in the morning were truly recorded.

Thank you to all friends for your continuous attention.
